why should senator mcconnell be picking your amendments? it's just flabbergasting to me about how we get to this point. like the frog in the warming water, you've come in a process in the middle of it where the traditional rights of a united states senator have been eroded, and you're trying to deal with that situation and craft a solution that's dealing with -- an alteration of our historical procedures. we should go back to those. and really when i asked the question about time and how few amendments we have that actually get votes on, i think people should understand what i'm saying. the senate will not slow down. it will not slow down if we have amendments. most senators will agree to make their arguments at a time when something else isn't happening on the floor. they get their vote maybe the next day. i just don't think that's the problem. the problem is leaders are wanting to control the debate, and i think those of us on the the -- underlings sitting at the kiddie table as somebody said, we need to get in the game. there's no consti

the problem is you've got mitch mcconnell out there saying that he doesn't have a dance partner on the dance floor, but the president doesn't have somebody he can work with in the house. when john boehner comes to the table and he can't even bring his deputy or his third in command to vote for the deal that he is agreeing to, i think you've got a real crisis of leadership in the house. and so the president showed that even in that case, he can get a deal that moves the ball forward for the country, but going forward, you just wonder, how much control does boehner have over the folks in the house and what kind of deals are we going to be able to get? >> reihan, just to the point, he could say, i am going to set a vision for what america must be. that's what david ignatius is saying he's not doing. is that charge fair? >> i think that's absolutely fair, but the mistake is this, president obama doesn't really care about this kind of grand bargain approach. he wants to be sure that his expansion of the welfare state and health reform is there, is durable, that it lasts beyond his presidenc

mitch mcconnell we want to one. is that a fair assessment that the president is not making the social connections he needs when it seems that the right is turning him down. >> no question. i think some democrats have probably told me in the president's first term that he was somewhat antisocial. look, this is a good thing and a bad thing. he very much is a family person, he enjoys being around his nuclear family, and that's admirable. however, you are the president. part of your job is to reach phone across the aisles to develop close relationships, but also with members of your own party. i think even members of his own party would say this president has a bit of coolness about him, a bit of distance action and i think that hurt him when it came to certain policy initiatives, and quite frankly a lot of people on the right said i don't think necessarily think what the president is thinking. i'm not sure exactly sure what position i should say. that was pretty much a common known factor, if you will here in washingto
